CHARITYHOSPITAL

A New Orleans Legend

Charity Hospital embraces an intrigu-

ing and colorful past, and has served a real

purpose. It is steeped in Louisiana history,

and has survived difficult times and someof the worst political squabbles and pa-

tronage problems in the country, enduring

for over 250 years.

Its charter dates back to January 1736,

when Jean Louis, a French sailor, be-

queathed his estate to the founding andfurnishing of Charity Hospital in early

French colonial Louisiana. This makes it

the oldest continually operating hospital in

what is now United States territory. (Bel-

levue Hospital in New York City was es-

tablished two months after Charity.)

Within ten years, it became necessary to

build a new building to replace the over-

crowded original structure. The new hos-

pital was conveniently located between a

canal, for receiving patients and supplies,

and a cemetery, for dispatching the de-

ceased.

In 1779 a great hurricane wreaked hav-

oc on New Orleans, reducing Charity to

ruins. But once again Charity rose from

the ashes, only to fall yet another time. In

1809, a kitchen fire quickly spread to the

wooden shingle roof and burned the entire

hospital to the ground. The indigent sick

were housed in the Cabildo until the hospi-

tal could be restored. Five years after the

fire, a new hospital was completed with

facilities "vast and commodious, capable

of caring for 120 patients."

A group of citizens visiting Charity in

1818 were horrified by the condition of

patients, and complained to the governor

and Hospital administration. They noted

the hospital's filthy condition and total in-

adequacy of attendants. New facilities

were again needed. In 1833, the fourth

version of Charity was completed at a cost

of $149,570. With the arrival of the

Daughters of Charity and the new Medical

College of Louisiana, the overall medical

atmosphere in New Orleans was excellent.

The entire medical complex was, at that

time, very likely one of the best of its kind

in the world.

Charity weathered the Civil War, andprospered during the remainder of the

Eighteenth Century. By 1900, the hospital

probably contained almost 2,000 beds.

Other hospitals in the city had perhaps

only 150 beds combined, including the

larger ones such as Touro and Hotel Dieu12 with 50 or 60 beds each.

Tulane University School of Medicine) was housed in

Bottom: The population of New Orleans increased

almost 30-fold between 1832 and 1926, while Chari-

ty's bed capacity had less than doubled. It was during

that time that the hospital was forced to place twopatients to a bed, and sometimes even a third patient

on a lower mattress near the floor.

the ambulances as they responded to their calls, until

the practice was halted in the 1960's.

As World War I was coming to a close

in 1 9 1 8, a new war was just beginning, that

between the School of Medicine and Hos-

pital Administrators. The worst was yet to

come as Huey P. Long's administration

assumed power. After Long was elected in

1928, he immediately reorganized the

Board of Administrators and replaced the

Superintendent with Dr. Arthur Vidrine.

In 1930, Long abruptly dismissed Dr. Al-

ton Ochsner allegedly because of

Ochsner's complaints about political con-

straints placed on his attempts to build

a first-rate Surgery Department at Tu-

lane. This feud, along with the failure of

Tulane to award Long a law degree that he

desired, quite possibly played a role in the

establishment of the Louisiana State Uni-

versity Medical School at that time.

It had been clear for many years that

the Charity Hospital building, then 100

years old, again needed to be replaced.

Following Long's assassination in 1935,

federal funds became available to build

the current Charity Hospital, completed

on June 27, 1939.

After World War II, problems involving

interrelationships developed not only for

Charity, but also for the medical schools.

The Ochsner Clinic had emerged as a

large medical institution, employing manyof Tulane's faculty and developing its ownresidency training programs. The Veterans

Administration Hospital also developed a

residency program that further competedwith Charity. With the rise of LSU Medi-

cal School, the old controversies between

Tulane and Charity were now simply ex-

tended to it as well.

In the late 1950's many sweeping

changes were considered for Charity andits associated schools. In the 1960's the

ugly matter of segregation was faced andthe "colored" and "white" wards that were

on separate sides of the hospital were

eliminated.

By the late 1960's financial problems for

the Hospital and both schools were para-

mount, particularly as Tulane was increas-

ing its residency affiliations with hospitals

other than Charity. The tight money situa-

tion at Charity was having an adverse af-

fect on the "lifeblood" of the institution,

its intern and residency programs.

Woefully inadequate financing contin-

ued at Charity, however, and the hospital

lost its accreditation on several occasions

since 1975. This threatens not only Char-

ity, but both medical schools and the en-

tire medical education process.

While plans for problem solving are be-

ing developed, the question remains: "Is

Charity a 19th century anachronism, or

can it be properly funded and equipped to

provide excellent care and teaching oppor-

tunities as it has in the past?" Althoughthe future cannot be accurately predicted,

one can only hope that future administra-

14 tions will act favorably on initiatives to

improve the relatively poor state of affairs.

TULANEMEDICALSCHOOL

The Tulane University School of Medicine

had its beginning as the Medical College of

Louisiana in September 1834, as three brash

young physicians, all less than 26 years of

age, initiated medical education in Louisiana.

Establishment of the school was met with

considerable opposition from the Creoles,

whose ideas concerning medical education

were based on the European system that

stressed academics well-grounded in the Lat-

in and Greek classics. Nonetheless, the Medi-

cal College opened its doors in January 1835.

In doing so, it became the first medical

school in the Deep South, and the fifteenth in

the country.

There were only eleven students in the first

class. Tuition, fees, room and board came to

a total of less than four hundred dollars a

year. The first few years were difficult ones.

Deans seemed to come and go every year and

there were many abrupt faculty changes, but

still the school survived. By 1843 there were

over one hundred students. Even then, diver-

sity characterized the student body. Mem-bers of the class came from Alabama, Missis-

sippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecti-

cut, and Louisiana.

Medical school in those early days was

much different that it is today. One needed at

attend only eight months of lectures to re-

ceive an M.D. degree. The school year was

four months long, with the second year being

identical to the first. The same seven coursed

were repeated over again. The curriculum

consisted of courses in Anatomy and Physiol-

ogy, Chemistry, Materia Medica, Principles

and Practice of Medicine, Surgery, and Ob-stetrics and the Diseases of Women and Chil-

dren. Professors received no salary per se.

They were compensated instead by selling

tickets to their lectures to medical students.

The instruction in the early days was wholly

didactic. Practical teaching was given only in

Anatomy. The lectures were delivered to the

entire student body assembled in a large

room or amphitheater. Clinical subjects were

taught in the same manner. Indeed, the un-

motivated students would often graduate

without ever having attended a delivery,

without ever having observed an operation,

and often without ever having examined a

patient.

The Civil War brought to a halt all formal

medical training in 1862. The Medical Col-

lege of Louisiana was fortunate to find finan-

cial security. A wealthy New Orleans mer-

chant, Paul Tulane, bequeathed $1,250,000 to

provide for a new university. In 1884 the

various departments of the University of

Louisiana were placed under the jurisdiction

of the new institution, Tulane University.

In 1910, Abraham Flexner published his

report on the ranking and classification of

Medical schools, with Tulane ranked as one

of the top three Southern institutions. At that

time, Tulane's prominent faculty included

such physicians as Dr. Rudolph Matas, a vas-

cular surgeon, and Isadore Dyer, a well noted

dermatologist who was instrumental in the

development of the leprosarium in Carrville,

Louisiana.

In 1913 Tulane boasted a School of Phar-

macy, School of Dentistry, School of Medi-

cine, and Graduate School of Medicine.

(Only the latter two remain today). In 1958,

the School of Public Health was established.

Contemporary photo of Tulane Medical School.

The Tulane Medical Center was organized

in 1969 to broaden Tulane's commitment to

medical education, research, and patient

care. The Tulane Medical Center Hospital

and Clinic, the first such university hospital

in Louisiana, was dedicated in October 1976.

This 300-bed hospital has enabled Tulane to

consolidate a wide range of services in a terti-

ary-care environment. In the short time since

its opening, it has become a major referral

center for the region.

Since its founding 157 years ago as the

Medical College of Louisiana, the Tulane

University School of Medicine has under-

gone many changes, and not simply in name.

Several buildings have come and gone, and

while many different students and faculty

members have occupied these buildings, so

have federal troops during the Civil War.

Though Tulane originally catered to those

mainly from the South, it now attracts stu-

dents from all parts of the United States.

From its meager beginnings in 1834 with 11

students, the Tulane University School of

Medicine has gone on to confer over 12,000

medical degrees, 138 of which are to be con-

ferred on the Class of 1991. Paul Tulane

would certainly be proud of the many physi-

cians who have graduated from the university

bearing his name.

THE BIG 3

We want to bid a fond farewell to three men

who had a significant impact on our first year of

Medical School. Drs. Edward Peebles, Robert

Vaupel, and Leon Walker retired during our

tenure at Tulane. They spent a combined total

of 103 years teaching Anatomy. No longer will

students learn about fishing or the reason Life-

savers have holes from Dr. Walker; why we use

the term "Scaphalocephaly" instead of "Boath-

ead" from Dr. Peebles; or the ability to differen-

tiate the esophagus from the vagina from Dr.

Vaupel. The word "identify" will no longer ring

through room 7072. We will remember you al-

ways.

COttES TKE DAWN

After a while, you team the subtle difference

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

And company doesn't mean security,

And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

And presents aren't promises,

And you begin to accept your defeats

With your head and your eyes open,

With the grace of a woman or a man,Not with the grief of a child,

And you learn to build all your roads

On today, because tomorrow's groundIs too uncertain for plans, and futures haveA way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshineBurns if you get too much.So you plant your own garden

And decorate your own soul

Instead of waiting

Tor someone to bring your /lowers.

And you team that you really can endure. .

.

That you really are strong

And that you really do have worth.

And you learn and learn. .

.

With every goodbye, you learn.

I won the wrestling match My first day of school. Trust in the Lord with all

thy heart and lean not on

your own understanding; in

all your ways acknowledge

Him, and He shall direct

your paths. Be not wise in

your own eyes; fear the Lordand depart from evil. It will

be health to your flesh andstrength to your bones.

Proverbs 3: 5-8

Which way to the beach?

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do whatyou'd drulher not.

Most of what I really need to know about how

to live and what to do and how to be, I learned

in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of

the graduate-school mountain, but there in the

sandpile at Sunday School. These are the

things I learned:

Share everything.

Play fair.

Don't hit people.

Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.

Don't take things that aren't yours.

Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Rebecca LitwinNew Orleans, LAUniversity of Pennsylvania

B.A., 1987

Live a balanced life—learn some and think some and

draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work

every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic,

hold hands, and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.

My hands were steady/ My eyes were clear and bright

My walk had purpose/ My steps were quick and light

And I held firmly/ To what I felt was right

Like a rock

LIKE A ROCK

And I stood arrow straight/ unencumbered by the weightOf all these hustlers and their schemesI stood proud - I stood tall/ High above it all

I still believed in my dreams

20 years now/ where'd they go?/ 20 years/ I don't knowI sit and I wonder sometimes/ Where they've goneAnd sometimes late at night/ When I'm bathed in the firelight

The moon comes callin' a ghostly white/ And I recall, I recall

Dr. Ronald Lee Nichols serves as Henderson Professor, Vice-

Chairman of the Department of Surgery, and Associate Professor

of Microbiology. A graduate of the University of Illinois School

of Medicine, Dr. Nichols has become world-renowned for his

creation of the "Nichols Prep," used as antibiotic prophylaxis in

abdominal surgery. However, in recent years, he has become an

authority on medical-legal principles. Dr. Nichols' knowledge of

Microbiology, Surgery, and legal issues, puts him in great de-

mand as a lecturer nation-wide. His pleasant and entertaining

teaching skills have made him a favorite among students. As a

result, he has been the recipient of several Owl Club Awards.

This year, the Class of 1991 is fortunate enough to have Dr.

Nichols as our sponsor, the eighth time he has served a graduat-

ing class in this capacity. Dr. Nichols, we thank you for it all!

School of Medicine.

Many of you have completed clinical rotations at Children's Hospital in pediatrics,

pediatric subspecialties, pediatric rehabilitative medicine, pediatric orthopaedics,

pediatric surgery, pediatric surgical subspecialties, pediatric radiology and in a

host of other areas. We have been delighted to have you be a part of Children's

Hospital and to see how a union of the Children's Hospital with the private

practicing community and its affiliate institutions, Tulane University and Louisiana

State University, has made us a most dynamic and growing force in pediatric

care in the State of Louisiana and the entire Gulf Coast area. We look forward

to continued growth, and we are certain that many of you will be a part of

that growth.

As your residencies and fellowships progress we hope that many of them

will be done in part here and that we will have the opportunity to watch you

grow professionally. We hope that you will be frequent visitors and learn of

the resource of our Children's Hospital in the New Orleans and Louisiana

community.

Congratulations for much happiness and fulfillment in the future.
